NVST – Dreaming Of Us While Slowly Catching Fire In a Place I Never Belonged (K7)

Description

All things are in perpetual motion and at the centre of this flux is self-discovery. ‘Dreaming Of Us While Slowly Catching Fire In a Place I Never Belonged’ is an introspective portrait of NVST, a multi-talented Swiss DJ and producer making her Maloca Records debut.

The 7-piece opens up a space for reflection on raw emotions and identity, making the most of the traits of sonic experimentation that mark NVST’s sound. The LP is a slow-burning-lucid-dream into a searing transformation: an obscure fire that consumes but illuminates, transforms while discovering itself.

Samples and vocal manipulations become instruments of narration, weaving fragments of memories and feelings into a sound texture that feels both personal and collective.

NVST distills the chaos of transformation into rich, layered soundscapes: ethereal, echo-laden vocals – often manipulated through pedals and embedded in haunting dialogues – clothe the compositions with an otherworldly texture. An echo that responds to itself in an intimate dialogue.
The impulsive, distorted and spatialised bass pulses beneath each track, creating a constant tension between breathlessness and breathing, becoming a feature that crosses genres.

Frantic drum machines, samples and sharp glitches move unfiltered, creating a dynamic that reflects the emotional complexity of the album.
